- Description
- INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) intends to negotiate and award a sole source purchase order to Wolters Kluwer Health, 8425 Woodfield Crossing, Suite 490, Indianapolis, IN 46240. Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 U.S.C. 2304, only one responsible source and no other suppliers or services will satisfy agency requirements. A Justification and approval is currently being processed for this requirement. This requirement is intended as a soles source procurement because Wolters Kluwer is the only source for the licenses for Medi-Span Drug Data Base (MDDB). Medi-Span MDDB® is a pharmacy data resource that is used by plan sponsors and Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs) that contains pricing information for drug products that are currently marketed in the United States. Drug products are described through Medi-Span's Generic Product Identifier (GPI) which is used throughout the formulary management industry. In addition to the features described in the Background Section, we rely on this product as central component to develop Formulary Reference Files for sponsors participating in the Medicare Part D program. The Formulary Reference File is a drug reference list developed by CMS for sponsors to select from to submit the products they wish to cover on their formulary. The estimated period of performance is for one base year and 3 option years. Responses must be sent electronically in MS Word format to renee.wallaceabney@cms.hhs.gov on or before Wednesday, May 21, 2019 by 11:00 am EST. NAICS CODES: The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) is 511130. INTERESTED PARTIES: All Interested parties must be able to affirm no conflicts of interest with parties involved in Medicare claims processing in light of the work identified in this Statement of Work. In the event that the vendor/government identifies a conflict, the vendor shall be responsible for providing a mitigation strategy that satisfies the government.

Please Note: All contractors must be able to provide service for all items; partial quotes will not be accepted. All questions must be submitted by close of business, Tuesday, May 21, 2019.
